Harare City Council has on Wednesday claimed that the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) roadblocks are causing traffic congestion across the city, saying some roadblocks should be removed.
Posting on their twitter handle, the local authority spoke about the Mbudzi roundabout as an example where a police roadblock was causing congestion along the busy Simon Mazorodze Road.
”Police roadblock was causing congestion at Mbudzi roundabout that resulted in congestion along the busy Simon Mazorodze Road.” The post reads.
The Council requested ZRP to remove its roadblock just after Mbudzi round about because it is causing congestion at the busy traffic circle.
Meanwhile, Cabinet has recently established an inter-ministerial committee to tackle the congestion on many city roads.
Government said it is planning to import 667 buses to boost the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) fleet and providing dedicated bus lanes to curb the traffic congestion.
